Fasting days: a unique event

From 24 to 26 January we had again a few fasting days, this time in “de Boerekreek” in St.-Jan-in-Eremo (East-Flanders). It was the first time we went to this location and that always gives some extra tension. Will the rooms be ok? Will it be warm enough over there? Last year in the Ardennes it was very cold the first day since the heating was not up in time…
We were warmly welcomed by the staff of “de Boerekreek” and we got the restaurant for our meetings. The rooms were very clean and all rooms had a separate bathroom with a shower and a toilet and it was nicely warm everywhere, which is very nice when fasting a few days.

We enjoyed times of marvelous worship, powerful studies, many moments of silences – In which we could soak or go for a walk in the beautiful nature surrounding the center – and times of prayer for each other, the country, our churches and many other subjects.
As Tamara put it nicely: “We have been fed very well once again!”

Knee healed by prayer

A few months ago I got pain in my left knee after a training session at the senior gym. I probably made a wrong move. This had happened on a Tuesday. Wednesday I was still in pain and I put my hand on my knee and prayed. Thursday I was in the car when I felt a warmth coming up in my knee. When we got home I asked my husband if my knee felt warm and he said it felt rather cool. When moving the knee it soon became clear that the pain had disappeared. All praise, honor and thanks to the Lord our God!
